Beetles and trees Its pine. Not the strongest wood going nor rot resistant. When you cut down a pine and use it for furniture it does have the neat habit of getting harder with age. But for building with ? Personaly I would pass. The beetles let in a bacteria that stains the wood a purple colour-but not all the way through. Personaly I think it adds character and makes the wood more desirable . Unfortunetly no one has marketed it as such. Hell if the scotch can stuff a sheeps gut full of all the parts not fit to eat and market it as food it is possible to sell anything if its packaged right. regards ralfph
